Joe gushed, "We are so excited to share the news with others that we are courting. Our families are close friends through church and this has allowed Kendra and me to get to know each other. She's the best!"

Kendra also shared her excitement, adding, "I'm looking forward to getting to spend more time with Joseph as we take this exciting step toward a new season in life. It's a really wonderful moment!"

The couple has decided to go the traditional Duggar route of courting, rather than dating. This means that they have strict rules to follow, like never being alone together, side-hugs only, not holding hands until they're engaged, and even having their text messages monitored by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

However they go about defining their relationship, we just hope that they get an opportunity to really get to know each other. Who knows -- there may even be an opportunity for some double dates, as rumor has it that one of Joseph's brothers might be sweet on Kendra's sister.
